Tip of the Day
“In the eye of a hurricane
There is quiet
For just a moment.
A yellow sky.
When I was seventeen a
hurricane
Destroyed my town.
I didn’t drown.
I couldn’t seem to
die.
I wrote my way out”.
– from Hamilton
Journal.
Make lists of things you've accomplished.
Write automatic thoughts and then rational responses to them (David D. Burns). Write down the automatic thought depressing you right now – not what you are feeling but what you are thinking. Then write down a rational response to that automatic thought.
Write your way out.
